The duo 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 4: discussed concerns about the Russia Ukraine War and NATO's role 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 4: in helping. 35 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: Ukraine defend itself. 36 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 4: President Trump also used the meeting to announce plans to 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 4: slap Russia with severe secondary tariffs if Russian President Vladimir 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 4: Putin does not agree to a cease fire deal within 39 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 4: the next fifth the days. 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 5: We hope that's going to have an impact on Vladimir Putin, 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 5: and we hope it's going to. 42 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: Have an impact on Ukraine. 43 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: Also. 44 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 3: We want to make sure that Ukraine does what they 45 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: have to do. 46 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: All of a sudden they. 47 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 5: Have they may feel embolded and maybe they don't want. 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 5: You know, there's a very difficult situation. Ukraine wants, I think, 49 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 5: and they will stake omitted. 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: That doesn't no doubt they want traditions have to they. 51 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 5: Have to continue to want to all of a sudden 52 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 5: they well, we'll make sure I feel confident that they 53 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 5: will do what has to be done. 54 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: Plus we have certain parameters that both sides know. 55 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: President Trump has expressed expressed, excuse me, frustration with Russia 56 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: over its unwillingness to come to a deal. The President 57 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 4: also says deliveries of military aid to Ukraine are set 58 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 4: to resume, and NATO is taking a more active role 59 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 4: in that process and in the funding. Here with me 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 4: to discuss this, as the former Special assistant to President Trump, 61 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: Colonel Derek Harvey. 62 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: Colonel Harvey, good to see you, sir. 63 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 6: Great to be here, Terrence. 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 4: So let's start here. Do you trust Vladimir Putin? And 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 4: this is I guess somewhat of a rhetorical question, but 66 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 4: it seems like President Trump has tried to blowmacy and 67 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: at every turn of Vladimir Putin privately may say one thing, 68 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: but publicly we're seeing something completely different. 69 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 6: Well, that's right, and you know the President has you know, 70 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 6: made serious offers and has seriously engaged mister Putin to 71 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 6: try to work a way forward that would accommodate, you know, 72 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 6: some Russian interests, but you know, protect Ukrainian and Western interests. 73 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 6: And unfortunately, we've now reached an inflection point where Putin 74 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 6: has not played ball with the West, and President Trump 75 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 6: and the administration have decided that they need to shift 76 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 6: gears to you know, this new deal here, which is 77 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 6: working through NAY to sell weapons, ammunitions and other material 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 6: to NATO countries who then will transfer those items to Ukraine. 79 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 6: What the funding mechanism will be, whether the Europeans pay 80 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 6: for it themselves or they charge Ukraine eventually, that's an 81 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 6: important element. But Pewtin has been steadfast and just playing 82 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 6: the long game. And I think we could talk about 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 6: what his goals are in a minute. 84 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: If you want, let's do. 85 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 4: Okay, you open the door, so let's do go there. 86 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 4: What do you see his goals as being, because the 87 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 4: reality is ending the war and ending bloodshed doesn't seem 88 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: to be one of them. 89 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 6: It doesn't. What he wants is he wants to maintain 90 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 6: ownership of the territories of Ukraine that he has occupied, 91 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 6: not just in this latest offensive a few years ago 92 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 6: at the start of the Biden administration, but also hold 93 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 6: on to territories he acquired earlier during the Obama years, 94 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 6: Crimea for example. So that's part one. Part two is 95 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 6: he definitely wants to have a friendly proxy regime in 96 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 6: Kiev that will be subject to the influence and interests 97 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 6: of Moscow, and that is something that you know, the 98 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 6: Ukrainian people are fighting against, and not just Zelenski but 99 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 6: the Western allies you know, are fighting for the independence 100 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 6: of Ukraine. And so that there's not a proxy or 101 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 6: a puppet there that will just be a staging platform 102 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 6: for further Russian influence. 103 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: All right, So let's take your premise there. If there 104 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 4: is a regime in Ukraine in Kiev that is supportive, 105 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 4: say of Russia, of Putin, then is that really a 106 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: staging point to try to move beyond Ukraine to potentially 107 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 4: attack a Poland, which of course will be attacking NATO. 108 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 6: Well that's the big question, and you know there are 109 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 6: various viewpoints on that by different European intelligence agencies as 110 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 6: well as our own intelligence services. So I don't think 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 6: we absolutely are certain what's in the mind of Putin 112 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 6: or those around him in that regard, but there are 113 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 6: a tremendous amount of indicators and suggestions that going to 114 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 6: you know, what Putin really wants is to expand the 115 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 6: sphere of influence and degrade the ability of NATO to 116 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 6: you know, have you know the alliance structure it has 117 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 6: in the Balkans, Okay, in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, you know, 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 6: and farther south to Romania. So that seems to be 119 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 6: as objective to roll back western influence along that whole 120 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 6: eastern part of NATO. 121 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 4: Which is the fact though then a challenge to NATO 122 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: and to the West. 123 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 6: No, that is exactly right, and you know, the President 124 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 6: has been very clear that you know, this is not 125 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 6: our war. Ukraine is not our war. Americans are not 126 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 6: fighting there. It's not Trump's war, I think, is what 127 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 6: I heard today. But there are American interests there, and 128 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 6: you know, we do want to see the war end 129 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 6: in this area. The question is going to be when 130 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 6: Phutan is dug in. And you know, this increase of 131 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 6: defensive capability and more logistical support for Ukraine will be 132 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 6: helpful in continuing the war, but it will not fundamentally 133 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 6: change the dynamics of the war in my view. Secondary 134 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 6: thank second issue, secondary sanctions fifty days it'll probably take 135 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 6: about fifty days to figure out how one would actually 136 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 6: implement and execute those But even that's a very difficult 137 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 6: thing for the West and the United States to actually 138 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 6: execute effectively to have the significant impact that would be 139 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 6: needed to change the direction of Moscow. 140 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: Colonel Harvey, I realized that war is not simplistic. But 141 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 4: I'm a simplistic person. This reminds me of a schoolyard brawl, 142 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: and there's the bully who's attacking everyone. Vladi putin in 143 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: Russia would be that bully. And sometimes the best way 144 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 4: to deal with the bully you can't offer your lunch 145 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 4: money or say hey, I'll give you fifteen bucks if 146 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 4: you leave me alone. You just got to punch them 147 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 4: in the face. And simplistically, I don't realize it's simplistic, 148 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: but it seems to me that we're almost coming to 149 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: that juncture where something, something beyond tariffs and something you know, disciplinary, 150 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 4: has got to happen. There's got to be some real 151 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: guts to something, and my own base there is that 152 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: too simplistic. 153 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 6: Well, the pain has to get to sech a point 154 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 6: that you know, Moscow has to reconsider its course of action. 155 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 6: That it's been following so far, and you know, I'm 156 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 6: not sure that we're there yet, although the war is 157 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 6: you know, raged on for you know, a number of 158 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 6: years now at great cost, human suffering, economic costs, et cetera. 159 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 6: But you know, this is similar to World War One. 160 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 6: It's almost trench warfare where the lines have been stagnant 161 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 6: for some time. The Ukrainians have been really creative using drones, 162 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 6: the deep str RKEs, you know, hitting you know, seven 163 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 6: different air bases, taking out strategic nuclear bombers and things. 164 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 6: But it's going to take more offensive capability and maneuver 165 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 6: warfare in order to be able to retake territory. And 166 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 6: they don't have that. They don't have the maneuver elements, 167 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 6: and they don't have those you know, tank battalions, brigades 168 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 6: and divisions that are necessary along with effective air support 169 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 6: and deep strike capabilities and sufficient numbers to allow them 170 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 6: to do that. So this is this is going to 171 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 6: ratchet it up, but I don't think we're going to 172 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 6: hit a pain threshold that changes Moscow's decision making. 173 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 4: And it seems to me that Moscow is also just 174 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 4: showing a lot of bravado that on the world stage. 175 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 4: It's almost as this is a face off between Putin 176 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 4: and President Trump in which privately, again there seems to 177 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 4: be one conversation, and then once President Trump makes an 178 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 4: announcement about okay, we've finally got in someplace, we're moving forward, 179 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: then Putin backs away or at least says something else, 180 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: and it leaves President Trump in alert to some degree. 181 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 6: You're right, Terrence, And you know, the other thing is 182 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 6: to keep in mind that there are still options that 183 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 6: both sides have, and they're escalatory option. RCA still has 184 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 6: strategic and operational and tactical nuclear capabilities. They can you know, 185 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 6: strike elsewhere to create diversions or to refocus you know, 186 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 6: NATO's attention in a way that would be escalatory but 187 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 6: also be like brinksmanship and causing you know, people to 188 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 6: really step back and where we headed, What are we 189 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 6: going to do? Do we really want to risk you know, 190 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 6: further escalation that could get out of control, and so 191 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 6: we hope saying our heads, you know, stay in control 192 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 6: of this. But you know, there's a lot of risk here, 193 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 6: and that's been one of the fundamental concerns of you know, 194 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 6: people in the national strategy, security strategy arena for some 195 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 6: time that this could quickly get out of control and 196 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 6: bring us into a cataclysmic situation. 197 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 4: When you say cataclysmic and we'll end on this, I'm 198 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 4: assuming your meaning and all out war that would involve 199 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 4: NATO and potentially the United States. 200 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 6: Well, surely there are options of tactical nuclear weapons being 201 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 6: used at you know, you know, Moscow is threatening that 202 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 6: at different points in time, and once you cross some 203 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 6: threshold like that, or you go after some capability or 204 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 6: go into Lithuania with a threat, things can quickly unravel 205 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 6: human nature. You can't control everything. There's so much the 206 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 6: fog of war takes place. Decisions are made at a 207 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 6: local level that can have ramifications strategically, and that's when 208 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 6: problems happen. And that's why we've had, you know, you know, 209 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 6: be really careful about providing offensive weapons, the discussions about 210 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 6: you know, limiting the striking offensive capabilities of your Craine, 211 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 6: because we didn't want to cross a threshold that could 212 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 6: escalate and get us into this quagmar. 213 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: Colonel Harvey, we appreciate your time, great perspective there. I 214 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 4: don't know if you're a praying man, but I definitely am, 215 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 4: and I hope it doesn't escalate to what you just 216 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 4: described there. That would be cataclysmic as you described. Thanks 217 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: so much for being here with us. 218 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 6: Thank you, Karence. God bless you. 219 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: I absolutely bless you as one my friends. 220 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: Coming up after the break, A recently released report from 221 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 4: the Government Accountability Office details the failures of the Secret 222 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 4: Service during last year's attempt on President Trump's life. Stick 223 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: around to hear from Senator Ron Johnson right after this break. 224 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: Back to America's Voice Live. I'm Terrence Bates. We appreciate 225 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: you being here with us. 226 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 4: President Trump has had the last year to think about 227 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 4: the value of life. It was one year ago yesterday 228 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: when an assassin tried to take his life and then 229 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 4: the process shot off part of his ear during a 230 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 4: campaign rally. 231 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: And it's remarkable to think that it was only one 232 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 3: year ago this week that my time on earth nearly ended. 233 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: And if you look at that, God was with me. 234 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: Because that's some editor in theory. I should not be 235 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 2: with you for that. 236 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 4: A recent report from the Government Accountability Office, specifically from 237 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 4: Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, cited numerous shortcomings by the 238 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 4: Secret Service. The probe also found there were communication failures 239 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 4: and a lack of specific and complete guidance for the 240 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 4: agents assigned to that rally. The Secret Service has suspended 241 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 4: six agents without pay for ten to forty two days. 242 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 4: Senator Round Johnson of Wisconsin joining me now to discuss 243 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: this and so much more. Senator Johnson, thanks so much 244 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 4: for taking out some time to be here with us. 245 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: Terre, I'm so happy to be with you. 246 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 4: So let's start here the suspensions for these six Secret 247 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 4: Service agents. 248 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: Does that go far enough in your estimation? Should there 249 00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: be firings? 250 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 3: First of all, it came about a year too late. 251 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 3: You know my staff, I'm chairman of the permise of 252 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 3: coming investigation, but even as ranking member my staff, investigators 253 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: immediately after the Butler assassination attempt reached out to local 254 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: law enforcement and gathered most of the information we've got 255 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: in terms of all the problems in terms of security 256 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: around that rally. We issued a report, a very detailed 257 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: timeline within a couple of weeks, joined the Byparis and 258 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: effort here came up with the preliminary report. Our problem 259 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 3: is is that passed the first couple of weeks when 260 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: local law enforcement to talk freely to us at to 261 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: that point everybody started climbing up. But we have not 262 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: gotten you know, for example, the interview notes from the 263 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: fbis hundreds of interviews with people. We've been granted interviews 264 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: with maybe a couple dozens seeking service personnel. The government 265 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: just has not been forthcoming to the American public in 266 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: terms of exactly what they know about that rally. So 267 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: here we are a year later and we don't know 268 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 3: a whole lot more than what my staff uncovered in 269 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: the first week or two. 270 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 4: Why do you think that is? Obviously the administration has changed. 271 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 4: It seems like this case would have been fast tracked 272 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 4: from all agencies, all law enforcement agencies. But from what 273 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 4: you're telling me, and I think from what most of 274 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 4: us who even are casually observing this investigation of seeing, 275 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 4: not much has come. 276 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: I think there's probably a couple of things I think 277 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: you can just tell. And I completely understand this President Trump. 278 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: Anybody who's ever been protected by the Secret Service, they 279 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: love their protectors, you know, they love those Secret Service agents. 280 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: They are people who men and women who are willing 281 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: to sacrifice their life to save their own. So there's 282 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: a reluctance to criticize the Secret Service agents, you know, 283 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: the other dynamic that's occurring here, and you're getting more 284 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: and more news reports about this of you know, lawyers 285 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: within the Just Department resigning because they're radical leftis themselves 286 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: probably and just can't tolerate their president Trump's empsis on folks, 287 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 3: on America and the rule of law. And so it's 288 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 3: very difficult though. And plus I think that Trump ministration 289 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 3: has also let some of the parties go. So there's 290 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: pregocized void inside the Department Justice, and it's hard to 291 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: recruit other attorneys to fill that void because of all 292 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 3: the lawfare. And we've got a prime example, Judge Troopas 293 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: in Wisconsin, a first class jurist lawyer represent the president 294 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 3: after the twenty twenty election, and because he a lawyer 295 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 3: represented the president the United States, the Attorney General of 296 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: Wisconsin is out to destroy him through lawfare. And it 297 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: doesn't take too many examples that the deep state, that 298 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 3: the radical leftists in government, they make these examps of 299 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: these individuals and other people say, I think I actually 300 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 3: want a career, I want to be able to take 301 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 3: care of my family. And so it has devastating impact 302 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: in terms of the Trump administration. Just being able to 303 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: staff the Department Justice with people who are loyal to 304 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: President Trump's agenda. 305 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: It's a real problem. 306 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 4: Another challenge that the administration is facing is being able 307 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 4: to pull money from agencies like USAID as well as 308 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 4: public brought casting. We're talking millions of dollars that President 309 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 4: Trump wants to pull from those agencies. It's my understanding 310 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 4: that you and your colleagues are going to probably be 311 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 4: soon debating a measure that would allow the President to 312 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: move forward with that. 313 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: Well, when you take a look at the fact that 314 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, part of the pandemic, we spent a 315 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: total four point four trillion dollars. This year we'll spend 316 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 3: over seven trillion, it's a fifty eight percent increase. Our 317 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 3: population has grown less than three percent. It's completely unjustified, 318 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 3: and yet we're just having a devil of a time 319 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 3: trying to dial that spending back to a reasonable pre 320 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: pandemic level. Again, unfortunately, we got big spenders in our party, 321 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: so it's not easy to reduce spending, even though it's 322 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 3: the Democrats who buy in large maintained level at that 323 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 3: COVID level spending when they should have dialed it back 324 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 3: to a reasonable pre pandemic level. So again, it's completely irrational. 325 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 3: Drives me nuts. I've been trying to lay out these numbers. 326 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: I've been trying to show my colleagues, this is what 327 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 3: a reasonable pre pandemic level spending would look like, somewhere 328 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 3: between five points five and six point five trillion dollars, 329 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 3: going back to actual allays from Clinton, Obama and Trump 330 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, inflating them by population inflation, leaving soul skating medicare, 331 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: and he's just as is. Again, we should be spending 332 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 3: somewhere between five point five and six point five and 333 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: we're spending over seven trillion dollars. 334 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 6: It's absurd. 335 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 4: What is your expectation moving forward? Yes, the one big 336 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 4: beautiful bill has passed, but there are at least a 337 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: couple more bites at the apple, if you will, in 338 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 4: terms of the reconciliation process. What do you expect to 339 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,239 Speaker 4: come out of that, if anything at all? What are 340 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 4: some of your concerns some of the things that you'd 341 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 4: like to see maybe kind of added or even taken 342 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 4: out of the current bill. 343 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: In addition to proposing some reasonable pre pandemic spending options 344 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 3: prior to passing the one big, Beautiful Bill. I also 345 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 3: laid out a budget review process, line by line, program 346 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 3: by program to go through, basically an auditing process, so 347 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: unlike we've ever done, twenty five per cent of the 348 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: budget is discretion sory, so Congress at least debates and 349 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 3: votes on that to a certain extent, and seventy five 350 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: percent is mandatory. Now it's not just socialcating Medicare, but 351 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: even Medicaid. There's a trillion dollars of other mandatory spending. 352 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 3: We're spending close to over two hundred billion dollars more 353 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 3: than fully inflated twenty nineteen other mandatory spending. 354 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 2: So again, there's plenty. 355 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 3: Of ways if you just use that simple control absolut 356 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 3: always from prior years, plused up for population inflation, take 357 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: a look at what we're actually spending and dialing it back. 358 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 3: And in business, this would be a five minute conversation 359 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 3: with my managers going, hey, guys, I told you can 360 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: increase your budget based on inflation, the number of customers 361 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 3: you served, where you're twenty three or forty, you're ninety 362 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: percent higher than that, dial it back. 363 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 4: I think that's what a lot of Americans are saying 364 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 4: to you and your colleagues and to everyone else there 365 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 4: on Capitol Hill, dial it back. I think that's our 366 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 4: word of the day before I let you go very quickly. 367 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 4: Just this morning, President Trump basically threatened Russia, saying if 368 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 4: Vadimir Putin doesn't reach a deal with Ukraine that he's going. 369 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: To tariff them. 370 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 4: Your thoughts on all all of that, and where does 371 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 4: that situation stand? And even I guess from a broader perspective, 372 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 4: where does the US stand under President Trump? When in 373 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 4: NATO and on the world stage, how do you see this? 374 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: Well, like the Iatols in Iran, President Trump has given 375 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin every opportunity to achieve piece on a very 376 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: favorable term. Okay, Unfortunately Iahtolas and now Vladimir Putin's not 377 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 3: taking him up on the offer, which is very unfortunate. 378 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: And President Trump is all about economic deals. You could 379 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 3: have put something with rare earth minerals in the disputed 380 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 3: territories of Ukraine. You could have ended that conflict, end 381 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 3: of the bloodshed on both sides. But Vladimir Putin is 382 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 3: the aggressor. 383 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 2: Again. 384 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: I think he's an evil war criminal myself, and it's 385 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 3: very difficult to achieve peace when when people hate each 386 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: other this way, when you've seen death on both sides, 387 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: it's very difficult to again dial it back. 388 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 4: If you were betting man, would you say peace in 389 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 4: the next six to eight months. Maybe those are arbitrary numbers, 390 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 4: but I figured we'll start somewhere. 391 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: I hope and pray for it again. President Trump was 392 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: pretty confident he could bring peace to that region in 393 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 3: twenty four hours. 394 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 2: Obviously that wasn't possible. 395 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't from lack of trying. 396 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 4: All right, Senator Johnson will have to leave the conversation there. 397 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 4: We appreciate your time. Thanks so much for. 398 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: Being here with us every day. All right, you as well. 399 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 4: Coming up after the break, the Lone Star State continues 400 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 4: its search and rescue efforts as another wave of rain 401 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 4: and thunderstorms halted efforts over the weekend. For due to 402 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 4: those flood mornings that remain in effect. 403 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 1: We'll have more. 404 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 4: Welcome back everyone, Terrance Bates here. Over the weekend, a 405 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 4: new round of flash floods tour through central Texas. The 406 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 4: death toll from the flooding is now up to at 407 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 4: least one hundred and thirty two people. 408 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: Emergency crews are. 409 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 4: Back at recovery efforts following heavy rain and renewed flood 410 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 4: threats in Kerk County over the weeks. 411 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: Warnings are currently going. 412 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 4: Into effect as rivers in that area are expected to 413 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 4: swell to flood stage it again. Here with me now 414 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 4: is the CEO and President of Choral Ridge Ministries and 415 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 4: the founder of the Institute for Faith and Culture, Pastor 416 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 4: Rob Pascienza, pastor good to see. 417 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: You, Good to see you. 418 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 4: So these sorts of natural disasters, one would think bring 419 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 4: people closer to God, bring people closer to faith. Are 420 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 4: you seeing that in this particular case or can you 421 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 4: put that into breader perspective for us if you will. 422 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 7: I am for the most part, I'm seeing churches and 423 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 7: other charities in our region, in particular here in Fort Lauderdale, 424 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 7: rally together to support the needs. 425 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: We've already been in touch. 426 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 7: With local officials, church leaders in the regions that have 427 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 7: been affected by the flood. So we're definitely seeing in 428 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 7: the faith community people coming together. However, I would warn 429 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 7: I think the broader culture, the broader society, unfortunately, we're 430 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 7: seeing stories and new clips all over the place that 431 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 7: are using this opportunity to politicize the moment, and we 432 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 7: really need to steer clear of that. This is a 433 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 7: moment to look to God and his sovereign hand to 434 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 7: bring comfort and protection to people that are hurting, and 435 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 7: as a time for the nation to rally, particularly the 436 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 7: faith community, not a time to politicize this moment. 437 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 4: In situations like this, my pastor often says, it's not 438 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 4: enough to be Christian in these moments, but you really should. 439 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: Be more christ Like, to act more christ Like. Can 440 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: you take that a little bit further? How do you 441 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: interpret that? 442 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 4: I see you smile a little bit, so I suspect 443 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 4: you might agree with that assessment a little bit. 444 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 7: Absolutely. I love how your pastor puts it. I like 445 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 7: to put it Christian in name only. We really see 446 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 7: who is Christian to name only when these opportunities arise, 447 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 7: and to really see who steps forward, who steps forward 448 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 7: by faith, And this is an opportunity, absolutely to be 449 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 7: christ Like. Christianity has always been at its best when 450 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 7: it's run towards the darkness, when it's brought hope and healing, 451 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 7: life and light into moments of tragedy like this. Over 452 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 7: the past two thousand years, Christianity has been the greatest 453 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 7: movement the world has ever seen. But it hasn't been 454 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 7: because they have retreated from darkness and tragedy, but they've 455 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 7: run towards it, bringing the message of Christ, not only 456 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 7: preaching it, but demonstrating it in love and acts of service. 457 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 4: Do you think that God sometimes puts these sorts of 458 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 4: challenges in front of communities, in front of us as 459 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 4: a nation, to bring us close together? 460 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: And I asked that question. 461 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 4: I guess more philosophically, but I realized that the church, 462 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 4: when we talk about the church, it's not the building, 463 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 4: it is the people. And what you just described is 464 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 4: that the church is mobilizing there in South Florida to help. 465 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 4: The people are coming together to mobilize to help. Do 466 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 4: you think that's is that part. 467 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: Of the plan? 468 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 4: And I guess who am I to question God's plan? 469 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 4: But do you see some elevance there? 470 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 7: We not only believe that God is sovereign on the 471 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 7: best days, but we believe that God is sovereign on 472 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 7: our worst days. We're not only we not only see 473 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 7: his sovereign hand working in moments of joy but also 474 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 7: moments of sorrow, but He's always called his people as 475 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 7: Jesus calls his disciples in Matthew chapter five to be 476 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 7: the salt of the earth and the light of the world. 477 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 7: He caused them to be a sitting on a hill, 478 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 7: so you're absolutely correct. He calls them to go into 479 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 7: the world teaching people to observe everything that he commanded, 480 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 7: but also to bring a message of reconciliation, a message 481 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 7: of healing, to be that alternative city, and to bring 482 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 7: shalom in the midst of chaos. 483 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Amen, pastor Amen, you are out here preaching for us. Always. 484 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 4: Good to see you, my friend. Thank you so much 485 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 4: for your time. And I needed that word seriously. I 486 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 4: guess I was kind of trying to preach to myself, 487 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 4: but I needed to hear it from someone else. 488 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being here with us. 489 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 4: Thank you all right, Well, folks, Since President Trump was 490 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 4: sworn into office, his administration has made enormous progress at 491 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 4: a breakneck pace. 492 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: But don't forget. 493 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 4: While they're moving mountains for the good of the nation, 494 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 4: they also can't take your personal savings into account. That's 495 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: where you have to step up and do it. And 496 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 4: one of the best ways to look after your savings 497 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 4: is through diversification, particularly with gold from the folks over at. 498 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: The Birch Gold Group. 499 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 4: In the past twelve months, the value of gold is 500 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 4: increased by forty percent.

Revised tariffs are set 528 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 4: to take effect for US trade partners, including Mexico and 529 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 4: the European Union. Both reportedly face at thirty two percent 530 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 4: duty on goods sent to the United States. Furthermore, President 531 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 4: Trump says that if Mexico or the EU were to 532 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 4: raise rates on US goods, the United States will charge 533 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 4: an even higher reciprocal tariff. So here to talk with 534 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 4: us about this is the CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Costantino. 535 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: Anthony, good to see you. 536 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, great to be here and happy to be talking 537 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: about this. 538 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 4: So I'm going to play off of Sticker Mule the 539 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 4: title of your company, because I would imagine Americans can 540 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 4: expect to face some sticker shock the moment these tariffs 541 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 4: go into effect. 542 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 2: Well, you know, not necessarily. 543 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 8: The great thing I saw about it was just last month, 544 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 8: we had record twenty seven million in import revenue right 545 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 8: tariff revenue for the first time twenty seven billion, sorry billion, 546 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 8: which annualized is over three hundred billion, and that number 547 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 8: can continue growing. We're taxing Americans like crazy, but now 548 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 8: we're bringing revenue in from other places to something that's 549 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 8: never been done before, and I think it can really 550 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 8: help the American economy a lot of the things that 551 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 8: are being terriffe or not. 552 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: I'm in the manufacturing space. 553 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 8: We're also in a great situation not necessarily have to 554 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 8: make things overseas anymore. I'm making all my products for 555 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 8: the most part in the United States. We're currently outsourcing 556 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 8: something called a T shirt because it's hard to do 557 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 8: it here. But we have a big breakthrough at Sticker 558 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 8: Mule thanks to advanced robotics and AI. We're going to 559 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 8: be looking at making T shirts in apparel in the 560 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 8: United States of America soon. So because of all the 561 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 8: new technologies coming out robotics, AI, and because of President 562 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 8: Trump's leadership with tariffs, we're really in a situation where 563 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 8: if we're smart in America, everything's going to be made 564 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 8: in America again very quickly, and there's going to be 565 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 8: no tariffs on itm items that are made in America, 566 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 8: while at the same time the American people are enjoying 567 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 8: the benefits of collecting all this foreign revenue. 568 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 4: That's great perspective there since you're actually in the industry. 569 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 4: Because President Trump has publicly said that part of his 570 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 4: goal is to bring work back to the United States, 571 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 4: being production back to the United States with these tariffs 572 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 4: and to discourage American companies from going abroad. And so 573 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 4: you're seeing that already happening. You're seeing it becoming more 574 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 4: beneficial to do business with other American companies. 575 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: Not just because of tariffs. 576 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 8: There's also a major breakthroughs in technology robotics AI. 577 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 2: It's going to be easy to make things locally again. 578 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,479 Speaker 8: When you bring down cost, which you can do very 579 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 8: easily now, it makes a lot of sense to nay 580 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 8: things locally. So this isn't going to just benefit the 581 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 8: United States of America. You're going to see a lot 582 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 8: more localized manufacturing throughout the world because manufacturers really do 583 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 8: want to be close to their customers. It's not pleasant, 584 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 8: it's not easy to source things from all over the world. 585 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 8: It's much better to make things locally, so the tech revolution, 586 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 8: whether it's robotics, AI and everything else, You're going to 587 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 8: see a lot more localized manufacturing, which means a lot 588 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 8: of manufacturing coming back to the United States of America. 589 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 8: But are also other countries are going to be in 590 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 8: a situation to do their manufacturing locally too. 591 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: So the tariffs are great, We're going to get a 592 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: lot of revenue coming in. 593 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 8: We're already saw twenty seven billion, a massive record, and 594 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 8: that numbers is probably going to continue growing. But also 595 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 8: at the same time, where we can really move a 596 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 8: lot of things back home back locally, and when things 597 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 8: are made locally, there are no tariffs. 598 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: And it seems to me that it makes sense. 599 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 4: The United States is probably the biggest consumer country in 600 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 4: the world. We consume probably more than any other country, 601 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 4: I would think, so what makes sense, as you said, 602 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 4: to bring your production in closer to this market. 603 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 8: Correct, It's always better to be close to your customers. 604 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 8: It's just easier to operate your business when you're close 605 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 8: to your customers. Believe or not, I service Europe, and 606 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 8: when I service Europe, I service my business my customers 607 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 8: in Europe out of Europe because I want to be 608 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 8: right next to him. When I'm servicing America, I want 609 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 8: to be next to America. I serve Canada, Mexico from 610 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 8: America as well, but you want to be as close 611 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 8: as you can to your customers. And the other reason 612 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 8: why the Terrists make a lot of sense is when 613 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 8: you're in a position where you have all the cards 614 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 8: to negotiate with, like the United States of America, you 615 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 8: should negotiate. 616 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: You should use your leverage. 617 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 8: And we have tremendous leverage where the world's strongest economy, 618 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 8: where the world's fastest innovator, and we should use all 619 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 8: that leverage to negotiate and do things that make sense 620 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 8: for the American people. Instead of taxing the American people 621 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 8: like crazy, we should be looking at ways like what 622 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 8: President Trump did, very creative bringing in all this foreign 623 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 8: revenue through tariffs twenty seven billion last month. That number 624 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 8: are going to keep growing. We've never seen anything like 625 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 8: that before. And he's finding other creative ways to bring 626 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 8: in revenue to the United States to help the American people, 627 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 8: like the Golden Visa, which is going to bring in 628 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 8: incredible revenue too while helping our immigration situation. 629 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 4: I would imagine that you've already started projecting revenue for 630 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 4: the latter quarters of this year and into next year 631 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 4: based on these tariffs. 632 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: Are your numbers looking up? 633 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 4: Are you optimistic or are you still cautiously optimistic about 634 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 4: what's going to happen with your bottom line. 635 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 8: I think you're going to see amazing advancements in the 636 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 8: economy because of all the technological advancement we're experiencing. 637 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: Tariffs don't really affect me. 638 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 8: They don't affect my business because I make almost everything locally. 639 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 8: I only have one thing I source foreign, and we're 640 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 8: going to be making out locally very soon too, so 641 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 8: tariffs don't affect me. I think the thing my thing's 642 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 8: most excited about is the tech revolution. It's been ongoing 643 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 8: for a while, but you're going to see a lot 644 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 8: of gains in the economy because of all the things 645 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 8: happening in the tech spectors. 646 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: Particularly particularly with AI. I'm actually a late. 647 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 8: Adoption in the tech world, so I just started using 648 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 8: AI recently, and you're going to see incredible things happening 649 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 8: there to help help our economy and help us do more. 650 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 8: In the United States of America, the only reason you 651 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 8: go foreign is to get the labor savings. But when 652 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 8: you can do more in the United States and be 653 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 8: more productive in the United States, which we can do now, 654 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 8: and we're going to be able to do more effectively 655 00:32:58,680 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 8: very soon. 656 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: Tech it makes sense to doive things locally. 657 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 4: Before I let you go, I'm sure that you've been 658 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 4: having conversations with fellow business members. Is everyone really excited 659 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 4: and optimistic about what's to come? Or do you find 660 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 4: that people are a bit more cautious and ready to 661 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 4: feel their way through these changes, because change for some 662 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 4: people can be uncomfortable. 663 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: Let's just be honest about it. 664 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: Well, I talk to my team more than anything. I 665 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 2: can tell you.

You know, they call it the Golden the 669 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 8: Golden Age. We really are entering the Golden Age.

It is 713 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 5: the first right step. A lot of us have taken 714 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 5: a lot of steps, you know, like myself, Terrence, I 715 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 5: took a lot of wrong steps for more than ten years. Terrence, 716 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 5: I was doing the wrong things. Bone on bone and 717 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 5: both my knees. Anybody feel me out there with a 718 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 5: little bit of joint pain or a lot of joint pain, 719 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 5: high blood pressure, hypertension. I have a you know, a 720 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 5: ten inch belly. I look like I was about seven 721 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 5: or eight months pregnant. All these health issues, Terrence, I 722 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 5: tried everything. How many of you guys all tried some 723 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 5: diet or exercise program. I tried all that stuff, Terrence, 724 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 5: but I'm so happy to tell people that with our 725 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 5: patent pending science, you can have your best health. You 726 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 5: can make a change that will be a lasting and 727 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 5: a sustainable change. I did this twenty eight years ago, Guys. 728 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 5: I am thrilled to be In eight weeks, I'll be 729 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 5: sixty five years old, full blown senior citizen. Haven't had 730 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 5: a medical doctor visit for more than twenty eight years. 731 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 5: But more importantly, you can have this when you take 732 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 5: the first right step. 733 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 4: We've talked a lot over the past six months or so, 734 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 4: and one of the things in terms of taking a 735 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 4: first step is dealing with inflammation. Yes, you can help 736 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 4: people with all sorts of lifestyle issues and lifestyle diseases, 737 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 4: but inflammation, you were telling me, is kind of at 738 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 4: the root of all of it. 739 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 5: Well, the Mayo Clinic did a clinical study, Terance, and 740 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 5: the Mayo Clinic said, virtually of all pain, all disease 741 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 5: in the human body, the root cause of it is 742 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 5: cellular inflammation. And through our breakthrough science of intracellular hydration, 743 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 5: it is medically proven to flush out toxins and inflammation 744 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 5: out of the cells and flush it out of the body. 745 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 5: And when you put that out, you are going to 746 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 5: the root cause. You are reversing the root cause of 747 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 5: the inflammation, of the disease, of the pain, and thereby 748 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 5: you're solving the issue. And I love to use this quote, Terrence. 749 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,439 Speaker 5: I wish it was my quote, but it's not. It's 750 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 5: many of the doctors who became our clients at Energized Health, 751 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,720 Speaker 5: and they said, Johns, you believe you, guys cracked the code. 752 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 5: You cracked the code. You went to the root cause 753 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 5: of what causes illness and disease and you reversed it. 754 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 5: And Terrence, I want to give a personal invitation to 755 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 5: people to just spend about an hour forty five minutes 756 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 5: to an hour day for five days. So it's not 757 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 5: five days, it's just forty five minutes to an hour 758 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 5: four or five days. You can watch it whenever you want, guys, 759 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 5: but come and join us. And guys, it's five dollars. 760 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 5: It's like having a cup of coffee with Chelsea and 761 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 5: I cost you five dollars for us to share what 762 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 5: it took us twenty eight years, twenty eight years helping 763 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 5: tens of thousands of people we'll walk you through some 764 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 5: science and at least lay the foundation. Obviously, we can't 765 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 5: give you twenty eight years of knowledge in five days, 766 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 5: but we can give you the foundation that could absolutely 767 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,720 Speaker 5: transform your life. 768 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 4: And so it starts with this five to five to 769 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 4: five challenge. You come for the five days, you get 770 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 4: the information, and then long term, about how long does 771 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 4: it typically take to reverse some of the things that 772 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 4: some of the problems that most of our lifestyles have 773 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 4: put us into. I, like anything else, it took you. Well, 774 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 4: in my case, it took me fifty one years to 775 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 4: get here, so I can't imagine that it's just going 776 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 4: to take me five days to get it to turn 777 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 4: it all around. 778 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 5: Well, that's a great question, Terrence. The cellular cycle of 779 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 5: a human body is eighty eight days. The sellular cycle 780 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 5: is eighty eight days. Our selves can completely transform during 781 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 5: an eighty eight day protocol. And at the end of 782 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 5: the five days, we'll share with you about that eighty 783 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 5: eight day protocol. But I would encourage you guys, just 784 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 5: take the first step.

We are back with this story about what 809 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 4: makes America wonderful. We do this segment every day in 810 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 4: hope of putting a smile on your face. And today's 811 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 4: story comes to us from Butler, Pennsylvania. We're an assassination 812 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 4: attempt targeting President Trump one year ago yesterday happened. We, 813 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,919 Speaker 4: of course all probably remember that day in Butler, Pennsylvania. 814 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,320 Speaker 4: What started as a seemingly normal outing for the Republican 815 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 4: base quickly became an effort for survival as multiple shots 816 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 4: rang out there on that day. Lone gunman, Michael Thomas Crooks, 817 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 4: perched on top of a rooftop less than one hundred 818 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,800 Speaker 4: and fifty yards from where then presidential candidate Donald Trump 819 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 4: was speaking. The gunman got close to fatally wounding President 820 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 4: Trump as one shot grazed and cut his ear. Another 821 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 4: unfortunately killed one person and wounded two others who were 822 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 4: in attendance. When the situation was assessed and recognized as 823 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 4: an attempt on President Trump's life, the Secret Service agents 824 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 4: on site quickly huddled around the podium and urged the 825 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 4: President to get down. As you can see happening here, 826 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,720 Speaker 4: a security detail composed of snipers was able to spot 827 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 4: and eliminate the gunment, effectively preventing any further loss of life. Ultimately, 828 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 4: President Trump stood up and did this iconic fist pump 829 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 4: here followed by the words fight, fight, fight. 830 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:48,839 Speaker 1: It's hard to believe. 831 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,240 Speaker 4: The events in Butler, Pennsylvania happened a year ago yesterday. However, 832 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 4: President Trump's resilience embodies the American value of perseverance and fight. 833 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 4: It's also another example of what makes America wonderful. All right, folks, 834 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 4: let's get to our question of the day.
